A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor substrate; an n-type tub extending from a top surface of the semiconductor substrate into the semiconductor substrate, wherein the n-type tub comprises a bottom buried in the semiconductor substrate; a p-type buried layer (PBL) on a bottom of the tub, wherein the p-type buried layer is buried in the semiconductor substrate; and a high-voltage n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (HVNMOS) device over the PBL and within a region encircled by sides of the n-type tub.

Fully isolated high-voltage MOS device

A semiconductor device includes a gate electrode over a semiconductor substrate, wherein the gate electrode has a gate width direction; a source/drain region in the semiconductor substrate and adjacent the gate electrode, wherein the source/drain region has a first width in a direction parallel to the gate width direction; and a bulk pick-up region in the semiconductor substrate and abutting the source/drain region. The bulk pick-up region and the source/drain region have opposite conductivity types. The bulk pick-up region has a second width in the width direction, and wherein the second width is substantially less than the first width.
